"Could care less" is a colloquialism, and perfectly acceptable in informal speech, although I can understand why it bothers you. Your final period's unnecessary, BTW.:-P
If conservatism is the consistent destruction of the natural environment, and the appointing of corporate heads who have pushed for such destruction in the past to positions in the administration, consider me anti-conservative.
What the fuck "objectivity" has to do with that, nobody knows. Not every issue has two sides, you know.
Folding@home was a nice success story, and there are further applications of those models, e.g. simulations of prion aggregation (mad cow disease, Alzheimer's, etc).
Damn. I thought that said "simulations of pron aggregation." Sign me up!
I know it's a troll, but just in case people are curious, look for GRP.
What is the Gentoo Reference Platform?
The Gentoo Reference Platform, from now on abbreviated to GRP, is a snapshot of prebuilt packages users (that means you!) can install during the installation of Gentoo to speed up the installation process. The GRP consists of all packages required to have a fully functional Gentoo installation. They are not just the ones you need to have a base installation up to speed in no time, but all lengthier builds (such as KDE, xorg-x11, GNOME, OpenOffice, Mozilla,...) are available as GRP packages too.
However what about all the promised support for Afganistain that has never come?
They're in there, you muppet. The French have troops there. The Germans have troops there. The Canadians are the biggest force outside Kabul. This is why people hate us. Americans can go on and on, ranting shit about everything under the sun, and be completely clueless about what they're saying.
Being a friend doesn't mean that if your friend blows his foot off, you stick yours out. We had overwhelming support after 9/11, and many countries supported action in Afghanistan, which was a justifiable situation. They're still there. Unfortunately for us, they realized that Iraq was not even remotely similar, and was not a threat to anyone, let alone America. 37 justifications for war later, the body count is piling up, the costs are growing without fail (watch for another $100 billion plea shortly), and there's no end in sight. What's a fair-weather friend? One who doesn't follow us blindly into any stupid situation we create?
Empires aren't just about landgrabs anymore. Saying we've "never reached for empire" is so idiotic it's laughable. Barring the obvious (like puppet dictators - remember Saddam? How about Karzai's speech?), think about how many McDonald's franchises there are. Consider the virtual slavery we inflict on populations to get our designer jeans made (Kathy Lee weeps for you, children).
Come on. This takes less time to figure out than it did to write that post. If you vote, you get one shot. If you write the voting software, you get as many as you need.
Yeah, but you're trading with me, and I'm voting for Kerry anyway in a safe state. What's better than a vote for Badnarik and a vote for Kerry? A vote for Kerry and a vote for Badnarik! It'll all work out in the end, I'm sure...
America has the same thing (although significantly less - under six cents per CD), but it's not disclosed the way it is in Canada. In both cases, the money is distributed based on album sales, so if you burn Red Hat, Bryan Adams and Madonna get a cut.
Then again if he saw folks like Feinstein running the Senate he might just bypass the exercise of his First Amendment rights and proceed directly to the Second Amendment.
Remind me what that one is again? The right to construct nucular weaponry in your basement?
I noticed that too. Pretty funny shit. Kerry talks about how we should be concentrating on getting bin Laden, and Bush replies "Of course we're focused on Saddam Hussein, er, Bin Laden." Err, oops.
The difference in those cases is that the person who got the greatest number of votes in each election became president, which is not what happened in 2000. We're not necessarily looking for a majority, but when the president-"elect" gets 500,000 fewer votes, something's whacky.

No, but good and acceptable are two completely different beasts. Besides, every generation has them. Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou at, Romeo?
And I always mod up for jump the shark lines.

I agree.
No, but real nerds don't have sex, so they don't have to worry about abortions. I'd explain more, but I have some alien heads to bust. HTH.

Umm, no. -1, Wrong.
heh. That reminds me of when the Jojoba's Witnesses come to your door. Funny every time:
Them: "blah blah and the meek shall inherit the Earth..."
You: "Yeah, what's left of it."

Not everyone wants to live like Americans.

Yeah, that Cowboy Neal always gets the European vote. I think it's his 20-hour workweek platform or something.
Put it up, and see who sues you. Let us know.
I would argue that's just a side benefit. "Remember, your gun was made by the lowest bidder," etc.
I can answer you in one character:

Looks like it's got the largest storage capacity out of any of the linked players, anyway. You could probably fit 2 or 3 hundred iPods in there.
does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Twenty. One to screw it in, and nineteen to talk about how much better Neil Peart could have done it.

what if 200M of the population were suddenly struck with a crack addiction, and had a steady supply of the drug?

They talked about it for a while, but it never happened. That came out with all the Oracle stuff in (June?).
